Whether you’re dreaming of building a new home — or reinventing the one you already have — you’ll face an array of decisions and choices.

Here’s your chance to gain insights from experts, as well as from homeowners who have gone through the process of transforming their dreams into reality.

Architects and homeowners will share strategies at “Your Home, Your Way,” an evening of architecture and design presented by AIA Minnesota and the Star Tribune on April 18.

Panelists, all chosen from this year’s Home of the Month-honored projects, will offer an inside look at the process of creating a dream home, as well as answer your questions.

You’ll have the opportunity to chat with architects and ask questions about your personal project. If you’d like a more extended conversation, you can sign up for a 30-minute, one-on-one consultation with an AIA Minnesota residential design professional.

You’ll also have a seat — and first peek — at all 12 of this year’s selected Home of the Month projects.

Holding hand-scrawled signs and wearing black "Parkland Strong" T-shirts, the 40 teenagers filed warily into a committee room at Florida's state Capitol on Wednesday. They hadn't been invited and the lawmakers they were intruding upon were in the middle of a meeting. Timid yet determined, they stood their ground.

Spilling out wrenching tales of lost lives and stolen security, students and parents appealed to President Donald Trump to set politics aside and protect America's school children from the scourge of gun violence. Trump listened intently to the raw emotion and pledged action, including the possibility of arming teachers.
